Auto stacking in containers and one thing that's always bugged me.

meagloth

First off could containers such as bags of holding and(especially) potion cases auto-stack like the inventory scene does? I get false messages abou containers being 'full' cause I have 4 different stacks of 3 healing potions, and if I take them all out(one at a time, on iPad:/), and put them back in as one stack it will fit a bunch more in.
Also, in the description of a light crossbow +2, it says "this magical crossbow is light and elegant in the hand, with little recoil.":
Crossbows don't have recoil anyway. That's one of the main reasons people will still choose them over guns for hunting, along with being quiet. This is small, I know, but it's always bothered me because of the way it implies the write *almost* knew what he was talking about. So if we could change that in the 1.3 patch that'd be great:)

I'm not sure if this is the case for you, but when I have multiple stacks within a container (e.g. potion case), it's usually because some are stolen. So you end up with a stolen stack and a non-stolen stack. However, if I recall correctly, when you withdraw some from each stack simultaneously, they will then stack together in your inventory. Interestingly enough, this new stack will not be flagged as stolen (even though some of the items that went into it were), thereby allowing you to 'launder' stackable stolen items.

I have had the same experience as TJ when trying to sell items out of a bag of holding.

Also, crossbows do have recoil, its just in the opposite direction. "Reverse recoil"... heh

I'm pretty confident the issue is to do with the Quick Loot bar improperly marking stuff as stolen when it shouldn't. Dropping the items on the ground tends to clear the buggy issue. You can avoid this by not using quick loot, or by clicking each corpse first then using quick loot.

that's called "shooting the bolt", boo:)
interesting about the potions. i *have* stolen a lot of them.

There IS recoil Meagloth, particularly on heavy crossbows. I have experience it multiple times myself. Its not as much as a gun, but it is significant.

I don't know, I think this is a different issue. I'm pretty sure I noticed the behaviour before Quick Loot was implemented, or at least before I started using it. I mean, it's not that I don't know where those stolen items were coming from, I was definitely stealing items in those games.

Edit: wait, are you talking about the issue described in the OP, or the issue I was describing?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that launching a projectile without any kind of recoil would violate Newton's 3rd law.

Ugh. You're right, it looks like. I feel smart now.
